Agreement for sale registered, whether sale deed is required

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 13 February 2019 This query is : Resolved
Respected Lawyers,

My new purchased flat is located in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Property is inherited by legal heirs, and they executed release deed and registered in favor of first son.

I've have done "Agreement for sale" with seller and paid all stamp duty and duly registered in sub-registrar office as well as per consultant from lawyer.

So my question is Do I still need to do Sale Deed for same property?

Is registered Agreement for sale is sufficient for transfer of title? What would be consequence if I dont do Sale Deed?

Let me know.

Thank you for your valuable inputs.

Agreement to Sell do not require Stamp duty and registration. U/s 17 of the Registration Act 1908, the registration of Sale Deed is compulsory. Hence you must fulfil this mandatory requirement to acquire clear title of immovable property.

Any Un Registered Document will not carry the Legal Value.

Still your Sale Transaction would be Incomplete unless and until you Register the Sale Deed

Agreement to sell do not confer title (ownership) transferred in the name of vendee (buyer).

It is necessary to get the Sale deed executed and registered in the name of vendee (purchaser) , irrespective of the fact you got a registered Agreement to Sale.
